I know.. it's horrible, I need a replacement. But this board almost perfectly fills my use case of usage from the couch on my TV/Monitor, wireless, full size (numpad needed for work stuff), balances great on my lap, or across my legs when sitting in weird positions on the couch cross-legged or one leg tucked. Built in Wrist rest to help balance and grab when putting down or on the back of the couch.

I got a Keychron K4 last year, but a little too thick, with full height keys and no wrist wrist make it uncomfortable. The length is about as short as I could go.

So I guess that means I'm looking for:

  • Low Profile
  • Full Size, 1800 or 96% something in that area
  • Wrist wrest
  • Obviously, Mech or I guess optical. but I'm done with Scissor Switches and Membranes.

Was looking at the Keychron K5 Series, and am tempted but the lack of space in front of the keys is my only hesitation. I know this world is big and I am only familiar with a small portion of it (keychron, GMMK, what I see here). Anyone got any recommendations for something similar to the Logitech K800, but you know... good.

Right now at work, I'm using the GMMK Pro I started with that has lubed Boba U4T I got from a local marketplace and knock off GMK Black Lotus Caps.
